True and lovely myrrh, reminds me of Catholic funeral processions. I grew up close to an old cemetery, and watched priests swinging the censer.
The fragrance doesn’t last long, as others have said. But for a true myrrh scent this can’t be beat.

Slightly sweetened, clean soapy myrrh. Generously sprayed, it projects fairly well without being overpowering. Linear and thin as can be expected from a single note fragrance.

Youthfull and feminine sweet scent imo. All I get is Bubblegum smell. No myrrh at all. Low-moderate performance overall.

Sent shivers down my spine the first time I tried it at Demeter’s isle. If I did not know it was myrrh, I would have easily mistaken it for something tasty. Very simple, very nice, not at all chemical. Lasts longer than I expected (Demeter’s chockolat-y things didn’t last at all).
Speaking of layering, I had a curious combination on me when I bought my bottle: myrrh on one wrist, and Hermes Rhubarbe Ecarlate on the other. It was so good that I might actually end up pairing Myrrh with something sweet-and-sour.
Overall: a nice surprise from the brand.

Ever since I picked up a bottle at Marshall’s a few months ago I’ve been wearing it all the time (and have picked a couple more since then). It really does smell like Myrrh (a little on the sweet side). I agree with the other reviewer that suggested layering it with something sweet … and maybe vanilla-ish? I wear it a lot with Skin Musk but it smells so so good along with Atelier Vanille Insensee. I have no complaints about longevity really … I get a few hours out of it. And considering I paid less than 10dollars for the one ounce bottle, I’m prepared to make allowances.

Lasts about 30 minutes and isn’t very strong. Not much else to say about it other than it’s disappointingly fleeting.

A pleasingly warm, sweet myrrh fragrance note with slight citric/lemon-y facet at the top. I say “note” because this really feels like it’s just myrrh, and not a full fledged fragrance where myrrh gets top billing because it is in the most prominent position in a constellation of notes. That said, this is a camera ready myrrh without the stringent, medicinal aspects of the bare essential oil.
While sweet, Demeter Myrrh is not cloying and lasts a surprisingly long time (especially for the brand). No reason you couldn’t wear this on its own, but I think it’s best use would be to “layer up” the resin or sweetness quotient on a more complex fragrance that needs a little push to feel complete or distinct.
I have tested Demeter’s here and there and this one is definitely one of the better ones that I have tried.
